When to see a doctorMake an appointment with a doctor or other healthcare professional if you have any symptoms that worry you. 申请预约 病因It's not clear what causes most chordomas. This cancer most often starts in the bones in the skull or spine. Chordoma happens when cells in the bones develop changes in their DNA. A cell's DNA holds the instructions that tell the cell what to do. In healthy cells, the DNA gives instructions to grow and multiply at a set rate. The instructions tell the cells to die at a set time. In cancer cells, the DNA changes give different instructions. The changes tell the cancer cells to grow and multiply quickly. Cancer cells can keep living when healthy cells would die. This causes too many cells. The cancer cells form a mass called a tumor. The tumor can grow to invade and destroy healthy body tissue. In time, cancer cells can break away and spread to other parts of the body. When cancer spreads, it's called metastatic cancer. 风险因素Factors that may increase the risk of chordoma include: Age. Chordoma can happen at any age. Most often, however, this cancer happens in people ages 40 to 60. Family history. People with a family history of chordoma may have a greater chance of developing it. 来自妙佑医疗国际员工 申请预约 Nov. 14, 2020 打印 Living with 脊髓肿瘤?
